TL;DR: In this paper, the authors addressed the emergent issues by the case study of Haihe River Basin in North China, and the advantage of the water international study and the background for the cause of these problems from natural change and in particular human activity are analyzed.
Abstract: This paper addresses the emergent issues by the case study of Haihe River Basin in North China. The advantage of the water international study and the background for the cause of these problems from natural change and in particular human activity are analyzed. The key points are addressed as four aspects: (a) the study of the water cycle process impacted by climate change and high intensity human activity; (b) water utilization related to new economic partner change, such as saving water model; (c) study on eco-hydrology, and the interaction of water and ecology impacted by climate change and human activity; and (d) reasonable water allocation that includs water diversion from south to north and saving water issue in the local areas. Several suggestions are proposed both on the study on the water cycle, which is a very important base of water security in north China, and on the application study of water resources and eco-environmental rehabilitation. These key issues will benefit both the advantage of water science and the sustainable development in China.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss about the rainwater harvesting system and its implementation in Malaysia as part of the solution proposed by government to avoid water crisis in the future, they also reviewed the scenario of water shortage in Malaysia, and Sandakan was among the early place that did not get enough treated water supply from its watershed.
Abstract: This paper discuss about the rainwater harvesting system and its implementation in Malaysia as part of the solution proposed by government to avoid water crisis in the future. It first reviewed the scenario of water shortage in Malaysia. In Malaysia, we are blessed with an ample supply of water because of abundant rains. Normally, we received the rainfall averaging around 2400mm for Peninsular Malaysia, 2360mm for Sabah and 3830mm for Sarawak. However, increasing water consumption by our industry, agricultural and household users had made our existing water supply infrastructure strained. Sandakan was among the early place that did not get enough treated water supply from its

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed to identify potential groundwater zone based on ensemble modeling assembling advance machine learning algorithm like Random Forest (RF), Radial Basis Function (RBFnn) and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and set theories like union and intersection based modeling using 15 proxyconditioning parameters for developing sustainable water resource management plan.
